How can a complex patient with autoimmune thyroid disorder and RA be helped with LDN in a functional medicine clinic?

I recently saw a patient that has multiple complex issues including:

  • RA or Rheumatoid Arthritis

  • Autoimmune thyroid disorder

  • Food allergy - eating peanuts can cause rash all over the body


After being treated with LDN, patient noticed that pain from RA disappeared. When patient stopped taking LDN, the pain returned. In this case, patient has not yet achieved remission. However, there are significant improvement in quality of life not having the debilitating pain RA and there is the promise of trial of reducing her current RA medication which can be attempted as a next step after starting additional anti-inflammatory supplements and anti-inflammatory diet. Without LDN, likelihood is that this person's condition will continue to worsen and would need additional medications.


I feel extremely grateful to be a privileged observer.
